Think About Africa First

Difficult to sing, but let us chorus today Let us all sing African patriotism song Africa the golden land of our fathers Would be exceptionally advanced in all fields But stewards full of ego, serve self interests Stewards, think about Africa first Minerals, fertile lands, good climate Would make Africa earth’s goods, bread plate But stewards serve, family, relatives, parties Stewards, think about Africa first True peace, justice, good governance Would make Africa honored land of freedom But stewards want fame, serve world powers Stewards, think about Africa first Poverty, disease, hate, backwardness Would be scattered into the sea of imagination But stewards horde wealth in foreign nations Stewards, think about Africa first Unemployment, landlessness, corruption Would be strangers in African continent by now But stewards value foreigners more not citizens Stewards , think about Africa first Infant, maternal mortalities, genocides Would be unknown in modern world of reason But stewards value conflict, witch hunting others Stewards, think about Africa first
